The problem

Your UK data plan won't work outside Europe.

Most budget UK data plans include EU roaming only. The moment you land in Australia, Singapore, Japan or Canada, you are either paying per megabyte or completely offline. For a placement lasting months, that adds up fast.

💸
Pay-as-you-go roaming
Many UK plans charge per megabyte outside Europe. A single month of normal phone use on a Middle East placement can cost £150 or more in data charges alone.
🚫
No roaming at all
Some popular UK SIMs include no international roaming outside Europe whatsoever. Your data stops working the moment you land anywhere in the Middle East or Australasia.
✓
SimScrubs everywhere
One flat monthly plan. Works in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, USA, Ireland, New Zealand, India, South Africa, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. No surprises, no daily charges, no bill shock.

Why SimScrubs

Built around
the placement cycle

Most data products are built for tourists. SimScrubs is built for healthcare professionals on placements that last months, not days.

📅
Monthly, not daily
Tourist eSIMs charge per day or per trip. SimScrubs charges one flat rate billed every 30 days. On a six-month placement that saves hundreds of pounds.
🌍
Where placements actually go
Most UK data plans cover Europe only, with daily charges. SimScrubs covers 55+ destinations where UK healthcare professionals are placed: Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Ireland, the Gulf states, across Asia and one Europe plan covering 30+ countries on a single eSIM.
🔄
Cancel when you return
No annual contracts. No exit fees. Cancel before your next renewal date and you stop being charged. Built to flex around placement length, not lock you in.
🇬🇧
Keep your UK number
Your existing UK SIM stays in your phone for calls, texts and banking codes. SimScrubs installs alongside it as your data connection. Two SIMs, one phone.
⚡
Ready before you fly
Install your eSIM at home before departure. No queuing at an airport kiosk, no buying a local SIM on arrival. Land and connect automatically.
£
Flat pricing, no surprises
From £8.95 per 30 days. No activation fees, no daily charges, no roaming top-ups. The price you see is the price you pay, every renewal.
